  • Button battery for DSC100 and DCS200
Enlarge
 
The DCS100 and DCS200 (Chief command station/boosters) require a button battery to keep the memory alive when power is shut off to the unit. These boosters have two wells for button batteries - not so you can put two in, but so you can do a hot-swap of batteries.

Changing the battery is easy, just a little time-consuming.

1. Turn the system off.
2. Disconnect the wires from the front.
3. Remove the case screws that hold it together and take it apart.
4. Clean the new battery surfaces to be sure there's no manufacturing scum on it.
5. Insert the new battery into the empty battery well.
6. Wiggle it around a little to be sure it's making contact.
7. Remove the old battery from its well.
8. Re-assemble the case and re-connect the wires.
